I must've missed the Bottled Water part, but I'd still like to know if that's a real job and what kind of numbers we're talking about and how much time he actually spends there. He just doesn't come across as someone who would be that responsible and that much of a self starter. At least not to me. Maybe it's just the whole skateboard and pompadour thing that's putting me off.

I'll go out on a limb and say Arie and Emily do end up getting married. Being a single mom is hard and Emily wants some help and more children while Little Ricki is still young. Her situation is so very different from the other young, single, carefree bachelorettes we have seen that I really believe there will be a wedding.

I'm a cynic by nature but a romantic at heart. Believe it or not, I hope you're right.

I watched it. My favorite part was when Chris asked Emily how many of the guys she thought she would be sleeping with and she said all 25. Chris Harrison said they are considering at some point airing an hour of just bloopers and outtakes.

I kind of only skimmed the finale, but I think I got the jist of it. I always had a feeling she wasn't going to pick Ari i the end, and he'd become the next Bachelor. i guess we'll see if that's right (if they announced that I missed it).

I also never thought she'd pick Jeff, but the last episode kind of made it make more sense for me. He is the best Dad material if that's what she's looking for. He's also very "not scary" and after Brad, that's probably a pretty attractive attribute. It'll be interesting to see how far it actually goes. Did he propose or did they decide to wait and see how it goes? I was so sure they would that I tuned out once I found out she picked Jeff.

I think one of the reasons she is attracted to Jef is because, in many ways, he is like a big kid.

Remember, this is a girl who was engaged and pregnant at 18. She didn't get to have much of a "youth" - she had a lot of responsibility being a single parent at a very young age. I think she wants to do the things that most 20-somethings think about doing - and this guy has the money and desire to make her happy. I was wondering if they planned on taking the kid to Africa - not sure if that is such a great idea, but it's not my kid...

And the music throughout the season was hilarious - I cracked up every time she started kissing one of the guys and they automatically switched to some corny, make-out music. Hilarious!!!

I was shocked she chose Jef. I really thought it would be Arie. But I do think these two will go the distance. Jef will be a much better dad than Arie.

I think it's great they are going to Africa to help get clean water for people. It will be good to get away so the tabloids can't tear them asunder. I imagine they won't be gone more than a couple of weeks though because of Little Ricky. I wish the show had shown a little more about Jef's company and what it does.

I felt very badly for Arie though. Perhaps being the next Bachelor will ease his pain.

This has been my favorite season of all The Bachelorettes and The Bachelors. It seemed the most real and honest. Maybe because I relate to Emily as a single mom.

Feel the same way about firefighters who run into burning buildings? Or military?

Just. Wow.

Those are very different things from traveling to Africa on a humanitarian mission. As a single mother, I would not become a fire fighter or volunteer for war because if I die my young child is parentless.
